A few days back, Washington GOP Senate candidate Mike McGavick dumped thousands of dollars in contributions from VECO, the Alaskan company which is currently the target of an influence-peddling investigation by the FBI. But another GOP pol doesn't see any problem at all with keeping VECO's money: California Rep. Richard Pombo, who's keeping $18,000 in VECO contributions. The investigation has so far targeted VECO for attempting to influence figures in Alaska state government, and may expand to cover federal officials. But when asked whether Pombo will give the money to charity, Pombo spokesman Carl Fogliani says: "We don't know enough at this point to make any decision."
